Police in South Korea are raiding the presidential office, following last week’s attempt by President Yoon to impose martial law in the country.

The president and his allies are currently facing insurrection charges, and a travel ban has been slapped on several of them. Additionally, it has been a chaotic week in South Korea since President Yoon’s short-lived martial law declaration late last Tuesday.

Calls have been growing for Yoon to step down. Protesters have been out on the streets, and workers have gone on strike in Seoul, calling for the president’s removal.

Furthermore, a vote on whether to impeach him last Saturday failed—all but three MPs from Yoon’s ruling People Power Party left the voting chamber ahead of it.

The opposition, which has a parliamentary majority, has said it will propose a new impeachment today, which will be put to a vote this Saturday.

Even before declaring martial law, Yoon had faced decreasing popularity. His approval ratings tumbled to a record low of 13%, according to a survey last Friday.

In conclusion, authorities have since placed travel bans on Yoon and other leaders, including former Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun. Many have also stepped down from their posts.
